Template:MOS modes/doc
Parameters
The template currently supports the following parameters:
| Parameters | Required? | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Scale Signature | Yes (optional on mos pages) | The mos's scale signature in the form "xL ys", or for non-octave mosses, "xL ys<p/q>", "xL ys⟨p/q⟩", or "xL ys (p/q-equivalent)". If left blank and used on a mos page, then the page's title will be used. |
| Mode Names | No (optional) | A list of names delimited using semicolons. If provided, then a column for modes names are added. If the scale signature is "5L 2s", then mode names (Lydian, Ionian, etc) are automatically added. |
Usage
For mos pages, which is the typical use, simply include the code below.
{{MOS modes}}
Using a different scale signature
To specify a scale signature different from the title of the page, include it as shown below. Non-octave mosses are supported, as are multi-period mosses.

Adding mode names
Names for each mode are separated by semicolons, as shown below. A mode may have multiple names (such as with 5L 3s) or a name consisting of multiple words (such as with the mode names described by Elaine Walker for 4L 5s <3/1>). The number of mode names must match the number of modes the mos has, or the column won't be added.
{{MOS modes|Scale Signature=5L 3s|Mode Names=Dylathian, Dylian; Ilarnekian; Celephaïsian; Ultharian; Mnarian; Kadathian, Kadian; Hlanithian, Hlanian; Sarnathian, Sarnian}}

Limitations
Some mos pages that list mode names show other names or more information, requiring at least one additional column. Additional columns are currently not supported.
